When the spring begins to peck the pike: tips for all the months of spring fishing

The dream of any fisherman is to bring home a huge pike. And tell competitors about the float, as he took it. In principle, this fish is caught year-round, because it is a predator, and always in activity. But winter fishing is not for everyone, and potential production is sluggish. That's why everyone is eagerly waiting for the pike to start pecking in the spring. In the summer, it will take much worse, especially if it comes out hot. Of course, there will be a second, autumn peak, but seasoned fishermen believe that it can not be compared with the spring one.

Schuchye time

To the exact day, when the pike starts to peck in the spring, you can not even a professional ichthyologist. "Opening of the season" depends on how severe the winter was, and how fast spring turned out to be. Even before the ice rises, the fish rises from the depths and begins to approach the gullies, the mouths of streams and shallow streams, throwing on everything that stirs. This is the so-called "first spring zhor." Approximately still it is possible to tell, when the biting of a predator-pike begins in the spring: under normal, habitual average Russian winter-spring weather this is usually the first of March. And it is in these days is very likely to catch the real patriarch, which in summer will have to be long and tedious.

Usually, however, the time when the pike starts to peck in the spring is considered to be the descent of ice. With spinning all creep out, who knows a lot about fishing. Most often "go hunting" comes with spinning, although experts believe that the float is not only much more interesting: you can catch a much larger fish on the bait.

Cleves are observed, in principle, throughout the day. But still it is better from morning to evening. Although if there was an overcast day, and you looked at a promising place, then at noon you will have good chances.

Fish places

It is very important to know where and how to begin the spring fishing of the pike. And then you need to correctly determine the choice of position. Good places will be backwaters in the floodplains and under the dams, of course, whirlpools, pits if they are steeped in driftwood, and a line along the coastal thickets. Especially promising are the places of the border between algae and clean water. If, however, in the marked zone walks the male - be sure, and the pike is somewhere nearby.

Basically: tackle

When the pike starts to peck in the spring, you need to immediately check your gear and buy if something is missing. Spinning need spoon-like "baikal", "universal" and "trofimovka" - if you use rotary. Among the hesitant, the most successful choice will be the "spoon", "norweg", success. It is recommended to take options from brass, red copper or - if money is not pathetic - silvered.

For fans of float fishing tips are the following:

1. Rod (with a coil and rings, of course) - five meters;
2. Line - 0.30 in diameter (in the hope of a large copy);
3. A float for six, weights for four grams;
4. Hooks under numbers 12-14: larger fish can feel, smaller ones - bend.

Once equipped, it's time to go hunting. For fishing with a float can become a problem zhivets: during the winter pike eats all the small things. Perfectly fit red rats with stickers. From the gusher will have to be abandoned: for the predator it is wide.

March catch

When and how to catch a pike in the spring, it depends a lot on what month in the yard. For example, March is considered a golden time for pike hunting. But how to proceed to it depends on the weather. Good results are the use of jigs, but do not give up either wobblers, lures, or ratlins - pike at this time is enough for everything. It is possible to fish both on open water and off ice. The process is facilitated by the desire of the fish to the shore, where there is more oxygen in the water, it is warmer and fresher. That is, there are good chances of prey in the coastal promontories and thawed patches. To increase them, you need to take into account some features:

• To drive a spinner it is necessary slowly enough: because of cold water the pike still languid;
• When the atmospheric pressure "jumps", there is no biting at all. It would be superfluous to check with the barometer (or the forecast on the Internet) before going out;
• If the ice has not yet completely descended, the fish places are at its edge;
• In March, you need to stay away from noise - the pike is "nervous" this month and quickly leaves troubled places;
• "Krupnyak" predator now little interest, so you need to take vibrotails, wobblers and twisters in 3-5 cm, preferably dark in the morning, and bright or shiny - by the evening.

You can not expect a rush: you will not find too large specimens in March, and the small and medium ones are not yet very active.

April fishing

If the pike fishing is planned this spring, the principles do not change much, but the habits of the fish and the natural conditions significantly influence the process. Flood is a noisy thing, so bait must also match: active wobblers, petal jigs, large turntables. April is the height of spawning, which causes the second attack of "spring zhora". Particularly successful April "hunting" is in warm, but overcast weather. Do not forget about the rules of spawning, so as not to have trouble with the law.

May fishing

In addition to the warming of water and the abundance of fish juveniles, which greatly improves the pike tone, fish finishes spawning and a short rest after it. The secrets of its fishing also change:

1. Successful catching on bait, in which quality roach, dace, bleak, scum are performing. The prey will be worse for crucian and perch fines, and not the May bait - tench and ruff.
2. On spinning - active wobblers and turntables.
3. Good fishing from sunrise to dusk - pike is hungry. But the best - just in the afternoon, from ten to three-four.

If you can take into account such subtleties, without prey from fishing, you will not return.
